wnyfalconfan (Joyce): Does anyone know how long or how many rain storms it takes to wash off raptor droppings from  a tall brick bldg?

             

I think Joyce should do a study on the subject!!! 

   Frightening!!   

While we were working on the cameras this afternoon, I spoke with Jenny from the DEC about Luzerne.  Jenny told us that Luzerne was found on the sidewalk next to the Seneca Towers.  Due to the trauma found on her body, it looked like she hit the building.

I thought everyone would like to know.   

   

Thanks Jenny and Carol-at least we don't have to wonder anymore. 

I think they need a bigger bird bath! 

They're in the process of building her own enclosure with a large bathing tub for her.  People commented about the small tub and WCV did say it was sufficient for right now..seeing as it's in an office.   

 

I think they need a bigger bird bath!

Great pics!!   

Cool! 

I blew up your male from this am and Veteran on the right, what think? Same bird or different? Looks like the male this am had a band and maybe yellow tape on the right leg. Maybe it's me but.... I just don't know.

You can also see the black over green on the left leg blown up like that. Good job Donna-so we know it was the new male with Billie this morning. Hopefully Dana got a shot with band numbers this afternoon.        

                     
                Happy Birthday Dana! 
                                           

                    
                                                         Happy   Birthday   Larry!!!

pcarey2786 (patsy6): Elevator went down & got stuck in shaft soon after my last tweet. It got unstuck at about 11:45. Walked to Radisson - no falcons in  shaft.

If a Falcon was sitting on a ledge in the elevator shaft and the elevator moved, could the Falcon get hurt or fall into the shaft and not be able to get out? Just wondering if anyone would know.

Not likely.  If the elevator started up, a falcon could quickly exit. Just the noise of the gears would be plenty of warning. The falcons can enter and leave the elevator shaft whether the elevator is up or down. It is an outside elevator, so there is no shaft to fall into.

Thanks, Joyce.  Guess I've never really looked at it that well the few times I've been DT Rochester.  I've always worried about something bad happening to them while in there.

Like Joyce said-our falcons would probably beat feet outta there at the first bit of sound or movement Kris. However, if they decided to stay put on the ledge they would be fine too-neither the elevator nor the gears go near the ledges.
